Mayor Sessoms DISCLOSED he is retired from Towne Bank (which has a corporate office located at
297 Constitution Drive in Virginia Beach), and no longer has any involvement in Towne Bank's
transactions. However, due to the size of TowneBank and the volume of transactions it handles, Towne
Bank has an interest in numerous matters in which he is not personally involved and of which he does not
have personal knowledge. In that regard, he is always concerned about the appearance of impropriety
that might arise if he unknowingly participates in a matter before City Council in which TowneBank has
an interest. Mayor Sessoms also has similar concerns with respect to Berkshire Hathaway Home Services
Town Realty, which is an affiliate of Towne Bank. In order to ensure his compliance with both the letter
and spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act"), it is his practice to
thoroughly review each City Council agenda to idents any matters in which he might have an actual or
potential conflict If during his review of an agenda, he identifies a matter in which he has a "personal
interest", as defined by the Act, he will either abstain from voting, or file the appropriate disclosure letter
with the City Clerk to he included in the official records of City Council Mayor Sessoms' letter of
January 13, 2015, is hereby made a part of the record.
Council Lady Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED she is a Real Estate Agent affiliated with Berkshire
Hathaway Home Services Town Realty ("Berkshire Hathaway), which was formerly known as
Prudential Towne Realty. Because of the nature of Real Estate Agent affiliation and the volume of
transactions it handles in any given year, Berkshire Hathaway has an interest in numerous matters in
which she is not personally involved and of which she does not have personal knowledge. In order to
ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interests Act, it is her practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting of City Council for the
purpose of identifying any matters in which she might have an actual or potential conflict. If during her
review she identifies any matters, she will prepare and file the appropriate disclosure letter to be
recorded in the official records of City Council. Council Lady Wilson regularly makes this disclosure.
Council Lady Wilson's letter of January 13, 2015, is hereby made a part of the record.
Council Lady Rosemary Wilson also DISCLOSED she has a personal interest in Dixon Hughes
Goodman and receives income from the firm as a result of her late husband's employment. The income is
proceeds from the sale of his partnership interest,paid out over an extended period of time. She is not an
employee of Dixon Hughes Goodman, does not have any role in management of the company and is not
privy to its client list. However, due to the size of Dixon Hughes Goodman and the volume of
transactions it handles in any given year, Dixon Hughes Goodman may have an interest in matters of
which she has no personal knowledge. In that regard, she is always concerned about the appearance of
impropriety that might arise if she unknowingly participates in a matter before City Council in which
Dixon Hughes Goodman has an interest In order to ensure her compliance with both the letter and spirit
of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act"), it is her practice to thoroughly
review each City Council agenda to idents any matters in which she might have an actual or potential

letter of June 2, 2015, is hereby made a part of the record.

Members of City Council
Subject: FY 2017-18 Operating Budget and CIP Reconciliation
Dear City Council Members:
After lengthy discussions with you and listening to the public input at the various public
meetings, town halls, public hearings and via email, it is recommended that the Operating
Budget and CIP be adopted with the following adjustments:
1. The Department of Finance has ruled that the FY 2015-16 HRT true-up must be paid in FY
2016-17 for accounting purposes. The HRT true-up ($1,572,465) will be paid from the
Tourism Investment Program (TIP) Fund ($386,072) and a portion of the remaining light
rail funds ($1,186,393) in FY 2016-17 instead of the FY 2017-18 budget (this will be
accomplished through a transfer authorized by the FY 2017-18 operating budget ordinance
and effective in FY 2016-17). The TIP Fund Reserve for Future Commitments in FY 2017-
18 will increase by $386,072. The $1,186,393 would have reverted to fund balance to pay
for General Government CIP projects in the FY 2017-18 CIP. Instead, the General Fund
portion for the mass transit true-up in FY 2017-18 will be used as pay-as you-go financing.
The net result to the FY 2017-18 Operating Budget is the same.
2. To address storm water concerns, increase from 0.80 to 10 the portion of the real estate tax
allocated in the CIP to storm water projects and decrease the portion of the real estate tax
allocated for general government projects by the same amount. Funding of$1,084,100 will
be allocated to a new storm water project entitled "Lake Chubb/Bradford Lake" in each year
of the CIP. Funding is reduced by $1,084,100 in each year of the CIP as identified below:
CIP 3-697 "City Software Upgrade/Replacement Plan"in FY 2017-18 and FY 2018-19
CIP 3-139"Various Site Acquisitions II" in FY 2019-20
CIP 3-137 "Various Buildings Rehabilitation and Renewal III" in FY 2020-21 and FY
2021-22
CIP 3-504"Beach Maintenance Facility" in FY 2022-23
3. In an effort to support various organizations and our historic homes, based on citizen input
concerning the importance of these organizations, increases are recommended in FY 2017-
18 in the following amounts:
a. Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters -$25,000
b. Arts and Humanities Commission - $25,000
c. Southeastern Tidewater Opportunity Project (STOP) - $13,700
d. Atlantic Waterfowl Museum—$13,033
e. Old Coast Guard Museum - $14,908
£ Historic Houses Special Events- $49,000
In order to offset these increased contributions, a reserve set aside for grant opportunities in
the Non-Departmental section of the budget will be reduced by $140,641.
4. To compensate the Sheriff in a manner consistent with the methodology that has been in
place since 2006, the Sheriffs stipend is recommended to be increased by $12,363 with
associated FICA taxes. This increase is offset by a decrease in the reserves of the Sheriff s
Special Revenue Fund of the same amount.
5. $50,000 for the lake treatment program with the storm water reserve for contingencies
decreased by the same amount.
6. Now that a June 2017 opening for the Kempsville Recreation Center has been determined, it
is recommended that the Parks and Recreation Department delay the implementation of
increased recreation center membership fees for six months (the fees will become effective
on January 1, 2018 instead of July 1, 2017). This delay will allow the staff to address the
initial increase in attendance and membership purchases that typically occurs with the
opening of a new recreation center. Due to the delay, it is recommended that revenue from
recreation center memberships be reduced by $100,000, and that this decrease in revenue be
offset by a decrease in the transfer to the CIP. Further, we recommend that Pay-As-You-Go
funding to the Parks and Recreation CIP be reduced by $100,000 with the same reduction to
CIP 4-300"Community Recreation Center Repairs and Renovations III".
7. Increase funding for Tax Relief for the Elderly and Disabled by $450,000 with a
corresponding decrease in the General Fund Reserve for Contingencies. This increase in
funding is mainly due to a higher than projected amount of tax relief for disabled veterans
and their spouses.
8. Increase funding to Emergency Communications and Citizen Services by $250,000 to
support 6 FTEs in order to restore the 3-1-I Call Center to 24/7 operations. This cost will be
offset by an increase in interest income of the same amount.
9. Increase CIP 5-101 "ViBes District Water Improvements" by $600,000 in FY 2017-18 with a
corresponding increase of $600,000 in retained earnings in the Water Utility CIP. This
project is being increased to correspond with roadway projects that have been accelerated.
10. Increase CIP 6-101 "ViBes District Sewer Improvements" by $1 million in FY 2017-18 with
a corresponding increase of$1 million in retained earnings in the Sewer Utility CIP. This
project is being increased to correspond with roadway projects that have been accelerated.
11. Increase CIP 3-344 "Police Fourth Precinct—Replacement" by $925,000 in appropriations to
date with a corresponding reduction in appropriations to date in CIP 4-509 "Replacement of
Kempsville Recreation Center".
12. Reduce CIP 2-141 "Norfolk Southern Right of Way Acquisition Refund" by $20 million in
FY 2017-18. This reduction is offset by a $20 million reduction in General Fund Fund
Balance in the FY 2017-18 CIP. This is due to the repayment of this amount to the state as
authorized by City Council in the current fiscal year.
13. Increase CIP 3-292 "Virginia Aquarium Marine Animal Care Center" by $2 million in FY
2017-18 with a corresponding increase in revenue from a contribution from the Aquarium
Foundation.
14. Modify the roadway section of the CIP by: reducing CIP 2-111 "Traffic Safety
Improvements Phase IV" by $1,029,624 in FY 2020-21; reducing CIP 2-078 Sandbridge
Road — Nimmo Parkway Phase VII-A by $1,009,376 in FY 2020-21 and increasing the
project by $2,039,000 in FY 2021-22; and increase CIP 2-088 "West Neck Road Phase IV"
by$2,039,000 in FY 2020-21 and reducing the project by the same amount in FY 2021-22.
The details for the funding sources and the adjustments are identified on the attachments.
I want to thank the public who came out to the various town hall meetings and public hearings to
offer their comments on the FY 2017-18 Operating Budget and CIP as well as staff for their
efforts to provide answers to our various questions. If you have any questions, please contact me
directly.
Sincerely�,
--P61"
